stumbled on this, which really seems like good playing in many ways...but one question for anyone who has played this in concert: Do you, yourself or your MD, interpret the last quarter of bar 4 and 7 of the tuba excerpt (after the 2nd ascending run of each phrase...don't have the part in front of me right now) as an anacrusis to the next bar, or as the end of the previous phrase?
I've always done it as a pickup. With the cymbal/bass drum that beat is emphasized no matter what, but the percussion makes it seem like the end, while the low brass takes the same and adds it to the next phrase.
No matter what, the example given doesn't work at that specific beat, no matter which way it's interpreted.

Re: Hungarian March
Sorry, he is not playing what is printed and I find it annoying no matter how well he plays the tuba. The bottom note is the end of the phrase.
